Erv Prutzman has resigned after eight years as Northern Lehigh’s baseball coach and 39 years with the program.

Prutzman went 67-100 during his tenure. He enjoyed one of his best seasons in 2010, leading the Bulldogs to a 17-7 record and the Colonial League title.

“Erv is a great coach with a lot of knowledge in the sport of baseball,” Northern Lehigh athletic director Bryan Geist said in a release from the school. “He will be missed, and Northern Lehigh appreciates his years of service. We wish Erv and his family the best during his retirement.”

Erv's a great man and a good friend. I will miss him when traveling to N. Lehigh to play the bulldogs in baseball. The league will miss you.

TOM HOUSENICK watches every move Lehigh’s C.J. McCollum makes on the court, laughs at every joke by Lafayette coach Fran O’Hanlon and watches all the Divisions II and III coaches and players do it for the love of the game. Basketball makes the cold weather season go by fast. Already can’t wait for late February and early March when each possession could result in a season ending or continuing on.

Wrapping up his ninth year at The Morning Call, STEPHEN MILLER is back for year No. 4 on the LVC football beat. He chronicled Central Catholic's state-championship run in 2010, watched Nazareth win its first LVC title in 2011 and saw the league crown tri-champions for the first time in 2012. He has also covered the Phillies, college football and a variety of prep sports while with The Morning Call.
